cross browser <textarea> formatting

[robcrozier]

Hi, i wonder if anyone can help me with a pretty basic problem thats really bugging me!

 

I need to incorporate a textarea into a pretty limited space on my website, however if i make it the right size for IE it is to big in Firefox and the page becomes distorted.  My question is - is there any way to make the textarea the same physical size on both browsers?.

 

Take the 'call me' form on this website as an example of what i mean: http://www.spencerbirch.co.uk/residential-lettings.html

 

Thanks!

Give it a fixed width, say 130 - 140 pixels:

Add this to your css:

textarea {
    width: 140px;
}
